Shen Yaolu

It's July and a half, and the hot and humid night in midsummer is a good day for ghosts.

Thousands of ghosts walk at night, and ghosts walk first.These ghosts appear in one place for one hundred consecutive days, and one more will be added every day. According to the order, today is a ghost, and tomorrow there will be another Luotuo.

Nanfeng has always been bad at this kind of thing——Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night is nothing more than asking for an offering so that they can live more comfortably in the underworld.He doesn't live in the underworld, and he doesn't have any deep friendship with other ghosts. The ghost doctor also gives him credit when he sees a doctor.

But today he still came to this place where ghosts walk at night to have a look.An old ghost like him has a high status and mana among ghosts, and other little ghosts will stay away from him when they see him.After searching among the ghosts for a long time, he saw a female ghost in dark green clothes.He stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.

The female ghost turned around and was a little scared when she saw Nanfeng—although she had just become a ghost, she could feel that the ghost in front of her was much more powerful than her.

Nanfeng smiled and said don't panic.

It was your fiancé who asked me to give you something.He stretched out his hand, and in his hand was a pair of pearl earrings, carved with mandarin duck patterns with gold threads, very delicate.

"This is?!!"

"This is your engagement token from your fiancé." He handed the earrings to the female ghost, saying that your fiancé said that it was his regret in this life that he couldn't get married with you, and that he would marry you again in the next life.

"He...he..." The female ghost was moved and couldn't bear to cry.

Nanfeng comforted her, saying that if you want to find him, you should go to the underworld to reincarnate, and don't stay with these souls that cannot be reborn in this place where ghosts wander at night.

Even if there are thousands of unwillingness in my heart, let go of what should be let go and what should not be let go, your husband is still waiting for you.

The female ghost was sobbing.

"I didn't expect you to be so delicate and gentle."

Nanfeng met Chongyi when he left the place where Ye Zougui was.The man was dressed in red today, and he didn't look like he was looking for him.But the shoulders were wet, it must have been here for a long time.

"It's just to receive benefits from others and do things for others."

Before, a scholar begged me to help him kill the eldest son of Dushang's calligrapher. He was willing to exchange his life for it.This scholar's spirit is very pure, and it is best to use it to replenish his body, so I agreed to him, and promised to help him kill Mr. Du, and help him give the token to his fiancée by the way.Unexpectedly, within a few days of his death, his fiancée hanged herself in the brothel.I had no choice but to come to this place where ghosts wander at night to find her and persuade her to reincarnate.

Chong Yi thought it was ridiculous—you sucked this book to generate energy, so he would not be able to reincarnate, and you still tricked that girl into reincarnation in the next life.

Moreover, you didn't kill the eldest son of Dushang's calligrapher at all, did you?

Nanfeng squinted at him, saying that Lord Shenjun has forgotten my phantom ghost's way of dealing with the world, right?

Seven points of deceit, three points of luck.

Chongyi said nothing, just looked at Nanfeng with a frown.After a while, he asked, when will you treat people sincerely?

"Treat people with sincerity? Hahahaha! You ask me when I will treat people with sincerity?" Nan Feng thought it was too funny, "I am a ghost without heart, how can I be sincere?"

Nanfeng's smile was extremely dazzling, and Chongyi's brows were furrowed even deeper.He remembered how Nanfeng looked that day.

He said that what others like must be the best.

His eyes were full of loneliness.

Back at Nanfeng's house, they sat down in the inner hall.Nanfeng poured himself a glass of water, and said that he did not know why the Lord Shenjun came here.Chong Yi said that it was not the reason, but that living in Tianwaitian was boring, so I went to the world to have a look.

Holding his chin, Nanfeng said that I thought the god was here because he missed me.

Chong Yi snorted softly, saying that if I knew you were here, I would never have come.

"Oh?" Nanfeng's eyes lit up, and he said that it seems that the god doesn't want the heart lock anymore?

"Of course I want to get the heart lock back." He also poured himself a glass of water, "But I want you to give me the heart lock willingly."

"Willingly? Hmph..." I heard that Chongyi was mocking him, Nanfeng put the teacup on the table with a "snap", and asked, what did Shenjun plan to give me?

"Not yet." He smiled and took a sip of water, "but sooner or later there will be."

"Then it seems like we'll have to wait for a long time~" Phantom would always win three points, he said that the gods have always been pure and ascetic, I'm really curious what your favorite is.But before he finished speaking, there was a tingling pain in his knee——Chong Yi looked at him with a half-smile, this god-king could show tenderness at any time.His tone was gentle, and he said that if you still want your knee, you should stop talking about blocking people's hearts.

Nanfeng supported the table, his voice trembling a little.

"I don't have a heart, and I don't know how it feels to block my heart. Can God teach me?"

"Do you really think that I dare not kill you?"

"If you want to kill me, I can't hide~"

"Humph."

With a shake of the golden pitch-black fan, the pain in the knee disappeared immediately.Nan Feng rubbed his knees, it seemed that Chong Yi's attack was much lighter this time, and he didn't let him bleed.

Chongyi glanced at him and said that you have your own rules, and I also have my own rules.

I don't like to be difficult by the strong, and I don't like to be underestimated. Since that scholar can get something from you, why can't I?

Nanfeng couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect that the majestic Chiyan God would still care about this?

Could it be that he ate the jealousy of that scholar?

Chong Yi laughed it off.

Nanfeng knew that he was going to sit here again and vomit his eyes, so he stopped talking.Get up and stand by the window and look at the clouds in the sky.After a while, Chong Yi's voice came from behind.

"How are your injuries?"

"Injury?" Lord Shenjun still cares about this, "What do you mean by injury? Did that little Taoist make it, or did you do it?"

Too lazy to quarrel with Nanfeng, Chong Yi took out a small blue and white bottle from his cuff and put it on the table, saying that I still have some medicine here, and if it hurts, I will take one.

Nan Feng rolled his eyes, thinking that he is pretending to be a good person here now, but you were merciless when you broke my knee back then.

"No need, I'll go to the ghost doctor to get some medicine."

Chongyi's hands froze for a moment, "...you have a good relationship with the ghost doctor?"

"It's okay." Sitting back on the seat again, Nan Feng propped his forehead with one hand, with a relaxed expression.

Chongyi looked at him—it seemed that he hadn’t looked at this phantom properly since we met. People say that ghosts are either coquettish or vicious. When he opened his mouth, there were harsh words with a ghostly look, he was a handsome young man.He suddenly felt that Nan Feng might not be suitable to be a ghost.

"you……"

"Ok?"

"...Nothing." He paused, got up and walked out.

Nanfeng was confused by him - is he leaving?

"I'm afraid this gentleman's clothes will ruin the atmosphere of your mansion."

Chong Yi's voice faded away with his figure.

Phantom...

……south wind.

The underworld is a place where souls and ghosts gather.This underworld can also be regarded as the big territory of the Three Realms, and the heads of this territory are the King of Hades, Jinque and the Lord of the Underworld, Yinyue.Jinque Hades is in charge of the reincarnation of life and death, and Lord Yinyue Ming is in charge of lonely souls and wild ghosts.But who knows that these two leaders have disliked each other since they were young. Jinque thinks that Yinyue is in charge of all ghosts and rich and powerful, and Yinyue thinks that Jinque writes life and death and meddles in other affairs.Among the neighbors, if you look down and don't see up, you will inevitably stumble.It wasn't that Chong Yi saw them bickering on the Naihe Bridge as soon as he walked to the Styx River, which made the reincarnated ghosts behind him all look helpless.

"Yinyue, who do you think you are?!! It's amazing to hug a few beautiful female ghosts every day?!! Don't think that I don't know about the messy things between you and the bone girl, be careful, I will report to the Emperor of Heaven!!!"

"You go to the Emperor of Heaven to complain?" The Underworld Lord is obviously much calmer than the King of Hades, and his whole body is full of the aura of the Lord.He calmly said, "A few days ago, who wrote the calamity of Fairy Wanhua's reincarnation wrongly. You said that if the Emperor of Heaven found out, would he be punished?"

"Yinyue, you are a disciple!"

"Fortunately, you are still the King of Hades, why are you speaking so vulgarly?"

Chong Yi stood on the bank and looked at it for a while, feeling that it seemed meaningless to come here, so he prepared to leave.As soon as he turned around, he heard Jinque yelling "Who dares to break into the underworld".He sighed, wondering if the Emperor of Heaven had been sleepy lately, why did he choose such unreliable officials.

"It turned out to be the Lord Chiyan." Yinyue was steady, and immediately flew to the shore to pay respects to Chong Yi after seeing the person coming, "I didn't know that the Lord was coming, and I was far away to welcome him. Please forgive me."

"No problem."

Jinque flew over and was dumbfounded when she saw Chong Yi, and quickly made several compensations inside and out.Chongyi knew that he was quarreling with Lord Ming and made a slip of the tongue, so he didn't care about it so much.

It's just that I didn't expect this underworld to be so lively, but it really doesn't look like a dark place.

"This is not idle and boring, so playing with this beast in clothes and clothes made the gods laugh at me." Jinque talked to Chongyi flatteringly.

Yinyue glanced at him, then looked at Chongyi, and asked, I don't know if the god has come to my underworld, what can I tell you?

"Ah..." He paused for a moment, thinking about something, "Actually, there is nothing wrong, just... I just want to ask you something."

"God please."

"Phantom."

"Phantom?"

"Yes, Phantom Ghost Nanfeng." Opening the fan in his hand with a snap, Chong Yi said that I wanted to know about him.

Yinyue and Jinque looked at each other.

Yinyue spoke first, "I don't know what the Lord Shenjun wants to know about phantom ghosts?"

"Just tell me everything you know."

"To be honest, this Nanfeng came to my underworld 1000 years ago. He was supposed to be reincarnated, but because he has no heart, he can only be a phantom ghost."

Yan Wang continued Yinyue's words, "He is withdrawn by nature, and he doesn't stay in the underworld after becoming a phantom ghost. The villain really doesn't know anything about phantom ghosts."

"Really..." Chongyi lowered his head, he was a little disappointed that he couldn't find out about Nanfeng.

"However, there is a ghost who knows a lot about ghosts."

"Who?"

"Ghost doctor Wang Shu."

A bamboo house on the outskirts of the Ghost City of Hell is the ghost doctor's residence.The place is full of exotic flowers and plants, and there are a few fish spirits in the pond in front of the house. When they were reborn, they hid vigilantly, and they really had the spirituality of living creatures.

When Chong Yi arrived, Wang Shu happened to be drying herbs.He looked at Chong Yi suspiciously, and when he saw the brocade fan in his hand, he knew it immediately.

"It's Chi Yan Shenjun." There was no unfamiliarity in the tone, as if it was old knowledge.Wang Shu continued to fiddle with the herbs, "Is the god coming to my Cuizhuju for something?"

"You recognize me?"

Wang Shu smiled and said, can I not recognize you?

A few days ago, there was a ghost who offended you and came to me to beg for medicine. He is such a ignorant guy, his kneecaps are broken, and I gave him a good reprimand~

Every single word was flattering on the surface, but Chongyi could also hear the meaning behind his words—he really deserved to be Phantom's confidant, even the viciousness of his words was somewhat similar.Protecting Nanfeng in front of Chongyi, it seems that Wang Shu really has a close relationship with Nanfeng.

"He is disrespectful to me, so I will punish him naturally."

"Then what are you doing here? He's not here."

"I want to ask you something."

"What?" Wang Shu was clever enough to know what Chong Yi wanted to ask as soon as he heard Chong Yi speak, "You can ask him about the phantom ghost. Of course, if he tells you or not, he will talk about it."

Suddenly a red light flashed, and the fish spirits in the pool sank immediately. The originally clear water in the pool was dyed yellow-green, making it disgusting to see.

Wang Shu wailed in his heart—the fish spirit I raised! ! !

Chong Yi opened the fan, his movements were chic and easy, and his expression was gentle.

"If you don't mind that this lord blows up your Cuizhuju, then don't answer my words."

... Nanfeng is right, gods are more cautious.

After brewing a pot of tea, the two sat down by the pool.Wang Shu looked at the pool of dead fish spirits in his heart full of distress, and looked at Chong Yi's indifferent face, thinking that he deserved to talk too much, in order to protect the south wind and annoyed the Red Flame God Lord, but also thought that this phantom ghost is really troublesome , You said who you provoke is not easy to provoke this kind of master who is not easy to provoke.

"What does the god want to know about phantom ghosts?"

"... What do you know about him?"

"I know a lot."

"Then tell me everything."

"Tell you all?" Wang Shu laughed, saying that the god is really joking, I have known phantom ghosts for 1000 years, and these 1000 years can't be counted just by eating and drinking, how can I tell you everything?

He took a sip of the tea, maybe the tea was also smelled of herbs, and there was a slight bitterness on the tip of his tongue.Chongyi said, let’s talk about why he lost his heart.

"This..." Chongyi's question was right on point - Wang Shu never wanted to bring up the matter of Nanfeng's innocence. First, he knew that Nanfeng had a stubborn temper, but he was self-abuse. Knowing how much it is is not a taste, and the second is that no matter whether it is a fairy or a ghost, it is incomplete without a heart, and it makes others listen to the joke.

But sitting across from him was the aloof Chi Yan Shenjun, who said that he was not joking when he said that he would lift up his Green Bamboo Residence.

Relentless, Wang Shu said, "This has to start from Nanfeng's lifetime." He filled Chongyi with tea, "Does God know that Nanfeng has a twin brother?"

"younger brother?"

"Well, it's called Nanyu."

His heart was returned to his brother.

1000 years ago, the human world was not what it is today.Nanbo Rong's family, Minister of State and Ji, has been loyal ministers of Emperor Li for generations. His family has a pair of twin sons. The older brother is named Nanfeng, and the younger is named Nanyu.When the emperor passed away due to illness, the new young emperor Li Dan was only six years old.In order to help the little emperor stabilize the country, Nan Borong sent Nanfeng, who was the same age as Li Dan, to the palace to be Li Dan's companion.More than ten years later, Li Dan grew up, and Nan Feng became the leader of the emperor's assassination organization, Mi Mei.

Nanfeng has been protecting the monarch since he was six years old, and he knows nothing but loyalty in his heart.At that time, his younger brother Nanyu had also grown up and became a medical officer.The emperor was attempted to be assassinated and was seriously injured. Fortunately, Nan Yu healed him and saved his life.It's a coincidence, it stands to reason that this Nanyu looks the same as Nanfeng, but after all, it is not from the same place, Nanyu can speak well, and treats people with a kindness, which won Li Dan's heart, and he was named Fengsi .In contrast, Nanfeng, who is taciturn, indifferent and stubborn, does not please the monarch. Originally, he, the evil leader, was responsible for the injury of the emperor. He was too loyal, and he was devoted to Li Dan. He has done a lot for that person, and he has earned a reputation of being cruel and merciless, but it doesn't mean that people will see him much.This Li Dan has a deep affection for Nanyu, and gives him everything that is good.Nan Feng always felt that this was not good. After all, being with you is like being with a tiger, so he still loves his little brother.However, Nan Yu was very close to his elder brother, so he was a little relieved.

But there is a saying, it's hard to prevent the loved ones around you.Never thought that his own younger brother would actually poison the emperor.

Chong Yi's eyes flashed, "Why?"

"Why?" Wang Shu smiled, and said why, it's not just for a word of love.

What close relatives and loved ones, what depend on each other for life, are just some routines.This Nanyu grew up with the emperor's younger brother Li Hong, and she had already promised Prince Xiahong in her heart that there was no one else.Li Hong wanted to usurp the throne, so he asked him to kill Li Dan, he was willing.Poor Nan Feng, as a subject, he has to be loyal, but now his own younger brother has the same face as him, no matter how cruel he is, he can't do it.

Born as a minister, you can't control your fate, put loyalty first, even if you cut your flesh and bones, you must protect the king and the world.

Chong Yi was a little dazed when he heard that, "Then he..."

"Forcing him to death, ah, is actually the same as killing his younger brother with his own hands."

Prince Hong is the emperor's younger brother, so it's not easy for Nanfeng to kill him directly.Nan Yu had no choice but to confess the mastermind, but Nan Yu refused, and was imprisoned by Nan Feng in the dungeon.That dungeon is not a place for people to stay, and students of various criminal laws can torture people.Nanfeng thought that Nanyu couldn't bear it, so he said everything, but who knew that the child had gouged out his own heart with a knife, and he didn't even say a word about Li Hong's fault.Li Dan lost his lover, so how could he spare Nanfeng so easily? Not long after, he found out how many people Nanfeng had killed and how many lives he had killed, and sentenced him to be executed, even his old and loyal old man. Dad didn't let go.Knowing that the emperor was determined to kill him, he begged Li Dan to dig out his heart and bury it in his younger brother's grave, saying that he wanted to return his brother's heart, and Li Dan agreed.

I owe his father a favor, and thinking about saving his life is also a kindness.But when I found him, he was already dead.According to the people next to him, he didn't even frown during the execution.Cutting flesh and bone, one at a time, he really can bear it.After the execution, the body was disfigured, the bones and the flesh were indistinguishable, and the soul was all in pieces, but it took me a lot of effort to put it all together.Without his heart, he has no return, so he became a phantom in this world.

"Oh, what a man, I really don't know what's going on in his head, he's doing things that embarrass himself." Wang Shu sighed, and then said to Chong Yi, don't look at him speaking so harshly now, he was also a well-educated man in his lifetime The son of the official family, could it be that his fate is unpredictable, he didn't have to do so many bad things, and he gave back his brother's heart.

Hearing this, Chong Yi frowned - he remembered what Nan Feng said.

Seven points of deceit, three points of luck.

If so, who did you deceive, and whose luck?

Seeing that Chong Yi's face was wrinkled together, Wang Shu said again, although the little ghost's words are a bit over the top, but please, Mr. Shenjun, you have a lot of adults, don't be as knowledgeable as Nan Feng.

Chong Yi listened, thought for a while, and his tone was flat. "I have my own measure." After finishing speaking, he took out the small blue and white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, "This medicine can relieve his knee pain, you can give it to him when he comes next time."

"Eh? Why didn't the Divine Lord give it to him?"

"Given it." Chong Yi smiled helplessly, "I won't accept it."

Wang Shu also laughed, saying that it really is the style of phantom ghosts.

"If his knee is not treated in time, I'm afraid it will be the root cause of the disease. A ghost is still in pain, and I'm afraid it will make people laugh."

"Oh?" Wang Shu found it interesting, "Master Shenjun still cares about ghosts?"

"I don't really care about it, but this phantom..." With a blow of the brocade fan, the smile on the corner of his mouth faded like a red dye, "I'm gone."

"Huh?" In the blink of an eye, Chong Yi disappeared.Wang Shu stomped his feet anxiously—I said Chi Yan Shenjun, at least give me back my pool of fish spirits! ! !

Being a fairy is really stingy! !

In the evening, the dim setting sun cast some light in the courtyard, which was not very annoying.Just now, after doing some tricks to clean up the huge house, Nanfeng moved a deck chair to rest in the yard.

He is waiting.

Seeing that the trace of red in the sky was about to be wiped away, Nan Feng frowned, when the knock on the door sounded, he immediately stretched his brows, got up and went to open the door.The person who came was a young man in white, holding a red lacquer food box in his hand, his eyes were gleaming, only his thin lips showed a little indifference.

He smiled at Nanfeng and said Xiaofeng, long time no see.Nanfeng smiled back at him, saying that it was indeed a long time no see.

Master Jiu, please stay safe.

The man named "Jiuye" followed the south wind into the yard, and with a single tap of his finger, he transformed into a wooden table and two wooden chairs, and then opened the food box - whip cake, plum cake, rock sugar Walnuts, a bite of crisp...all of them are exquisite things.Nanfeng joked that Master Jiu made this dessert so good-looking, but he was ashamed to eat it.

"It's all made by He Lan. I know you don't like sweets, so I didn't add sugar. I just used water from Ganquan."

"The water in the sweet spring has its own sweetness, no wonder the scent will entice people's appetite as soon as they open the box."

The two exchanged pleasantries like this for a long time, Master Jiu looked around and said that when he came here today, he felt that the house was different from the last time he came.

Have you provoked someone capable?The house was full of scorching gas, which was blamed for burning people.

Nanfeng smiled, and said that I can provoke anyone, people can't hide when they see ghosts, the last time you came was 500 years ago, it's not surprising that this house has changed a bit.

"Really?" Master Jiu looked at the house again, he shook his head, and said that you really didn't provoke anyone.

This scorching energy is so strong, it may come from the Scarlet Flame Lord transformed by the phoenix.

After all, he looked at Nanfeng with a strange expression.

"He knows that you stole the heart lock?"

"What is stealing? It's always fair for me to take things."

"Aren't you afraid that Chi Yan will kill you?"

"Oh, this heart lock is transformed by the heart of chaos. The duty of the ancient phoenix is ​​to guard this heart lock. Don't let it fall into the wrong hands and endanger the three realms. If I can't find the heart lock, the Red Flame God Lord will definitely not kill me. "

"Oh?" Master Jiu's voice was very meaningful. He said that you are not afraid that he will punish you after he finds the heart lock?

Nan Feng was lying on his side on the recliner, propping himself up with his left hand. "As long as Master Jiu doesn't give him the heart lock, even if he knows where the heart lock is, he won't be able to take it back."

I entrust the heart lock to you for safekeeping, I, Phantom, can rest assured.
